If God is so good, why do bad things happen to good people?

This is a wonderful reminder of how merciful and loving our God really is.  Lord, please help me to remember that each breath I take is borrowed from You.  I want to do Your will and not my own.  Without Your hand of mercy in my life, I can only imagine where I would be now.  I am so thankful for Your perfect vision and guiding hand in my life.
